LAMILUX GRP Products free from harmful substances

Safe for Your Customers

A recent report by the ZDF program Frontal on potentially hazardous emissions from recreational vehicles has caused a stir within the industry. The focus was on elevated concentrations of benzene, styrene, and formaldehyde, particularly in high roofs made from manually laminated glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) used in certain vehicle models.

As an established materials supplier to the caravan and motorhome industry, LAMILUX Composites would like to clarify:

Our GRP products do not contain any critical concentrations of these substances and are not affected by the issues discussed.

Industrial Manufacturing – No Risks from Hand Laminates

For decades, LAMILUX has relied on a continuous, industrial, and digitally controlled manufacturing process. In contrast to hand laminates—where chemical reactions often occur in an uncontrolled manner—our process offers:

  • high process reliability,
  • precise control of all reaction conditions, and
  • consistently low-emission product quality.

This ensures the safety and harmlessness of our materials—regardless of their application in the vehicle.

Certified Quality According to the Highest Standards

All LAMILUX GRP products meet not only legal requirements but also demanding industry standards, including:

  • REACH-compliant raw material selection according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 without the use of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC),
  • the French VOC label – Class A, especially relevant for gelcoatcoated products with regard to formaldehyde,
  • testing according to the criteria of the German Committee for Healthrelated Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB), aimed at promoting safe materials and creating a unified evaluation standard in Germany,
  • as well as the SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold certification, a standard based on VOC emissions that ensures building materials support healthy indoor air quality by adhering to strict limits for volatile organic compound emissions.

We are happy to provide this documentation to our customers – for internal purposes as well as communication with trade partners, end customers, or inspection bodies.

Safety You Can Rely On

Whether used in roof, wall, or floor structures, LAMILUX GRP products stand for reliability, health compatibility, and cutting-edge technological quality. For manufacturers of caravans and motorhomes, this means:

  • maximum product safety,
  • simplified certification for external inspection authorities,
  • and a long-term positive brand image for end customers.
